Erin Thornton is looking for players to form a small consort, meeting after work or at the weekends.  …

…Good sight reading at roughly grade 6 and above. The venue is north of Madrid (Alcobendas) at my house if preferred. I have a wide range of music for 2-6 players (renaissance, baroque, classical and folk), and can provide 2 stands. English, Spanish or French language.

I would think around 90 mins playing with the meetings arranged on a monthly basis. Refreshments afterwards if desired!

John Hartley and friends are looking for new players…

We would welcome a few recorder players to join us on Friday evenings 7.30pm to 8.30pm in Thackley, Bradford, West Yorkshire in our home for an hour’s recorder playing followed by a cup of tea.  Currently four of us meet most Fridays, but we would welcome expanding our group and playing more than just trios or quartets.  We are moderately competent at Handel, Giles Farnaby, Michael East, Henry Purcell and so on and so forth … and we wouldn’t mind trying new pieces with new friends.  Please contact John on 07811 915320.

Ms Rajkiran (Kiran) Barhey​​​​ is looking for new players:

“I am a very keen recorder (and flute) player looking to set up a new music group in my village of Iver, Buckinghamshire. It will be a friendly, relaxed and informal environment. Location to be decided depending on numbers but either my house or the local village hall. Meetings at the weekends, when convenient, likely Sunday. The village is accessible from London via the Elizabeth Line.

Particularly keen to meet other younger players (I’m 31) and I have an interest in early music (but keen to try anything). I have a diploma on the treble but am keen to play with anyone! Please do get in touch if you’re interested, even if you are unsure if it’s for you. My email address is

The Galloway Gremlins recorder group would welcome new members. We meet once a month (usually the first Saturday) near Castle Douglas to play a wide range of music under our director, Anne Martin. We would particularly welcome treble players, but all sizes are welcome – though descant players need to be able to play a larger instrument as well. Intermediate (G3+) standard.

For further information and sample music please contact Ian Johnston,

I am looking for players to form a small group to play consorts after work on a weekday.  Venue the fringe of the City (Old Street).  Room with good acoustic and space.  I have a wide range of music, and can provide 5 stands, which cuts the weight whilst commuting.

Good sight reading required and a preference for one to a part.  Envisage perhaps 60 – 90 minutes playing with meetings arranged on an ad hoc basis.  Tea and coffee available!

‘Belper Recorder Player’ (Derbyshire) was formed in 2014. We meet about twice each month, with tuition and musical direction from Verity Thompson.

We play a wide variety of music, mostly for our own pleasure, but give occasional performances.

The group is currently open to new members able to play alto/tenor/ bass or below at intermediate or improver standard. The ability to play more than one recorder would be very useful.

Please contact Hilary on for more details.
